The Manson one was fun--for some reason I really enjoyed drawing the folds in his clothing.
I'm glad I kept a journal. I think we make sense of our lives through narrative, and it helps to sort of keep track of your life in that continuing way. I also find myself starting to forget things--memory is so unreliable--and it really helps to go back and see how things really were. (Of course the journals are totally biased, but at least I can see from them when certain things happened and how long I knew certain people and stuff like that.)
There was a period for me where journaling was completely essential. I couldn't process anything until I'd written it down. I actually stopped keeping a journal when I was 16, though, and didn't start again until I got this LJ in 2002. (If this even counts as a journal... I guess I sort of use it as one.)
